0:00.0	Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Sometimes we can really suffer in life. Life can just be hard. But it doesn't have to be.
0:20.7	And I want to talk about what we can do to change that, to make our moments
0:27.6	that we have throughout our lives, to be good moments, to be moments that we look back and say that was a good moment and ultimately life is good.
0:39.6	And the premise of living a good life is living in the present moment. But it really has four
0:46.6	aspects to it. I want to talk about these four critical, crucial, incredibly wonderful aspects of the present moment when we embrace it fully.
0:57.0	Let's start by just taking a couple deep breaths together.
1:03.0	Now if we're able to do that,
1:10.0	with just focusing in on our breath and nothing else, we'll find
1:17.3	that all is pretty well because it's our thoughts that really keep us from living well right now.
1:26.1	It isn't so much what's happening.
1:28.1	It's far more how we interpret what's happening.
1:32.1	And we miss out so much on the present moment when we're in our thoughts.
1:37.2	We're actually then in the past or in the future or steeped in our fears, or our desires, we're not here right now.
1:46.5	And not being here right now, each moment, each breath, is what brings about the suffering that we're experiencing or can experience
1:57.2	throughout our life.
1:58.8	But if we're able to truly be present right here right now, then we'll find that all is well.
2:07.8	So the first step of leading a good life is learning that being in the present moment is a very good thing to do.
2:17.0	And that's the first thing we do.
2:19.0	We give importance to being here right now
2:22.0	and trying to quiet our minds and just flowing with and
2:26.9	experiencing all that life brings us not interpreting in it not running from it, not trying to control it, but just flowing with it.
2:38.3	And the way we do that is step two is by accepting the present moment.
